A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Vinegar Hill) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Vinegar Hill. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 36.5512, Longitude: -82.1029 In this case, the coordinates for Vinegar Hill have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

| <3> | While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. |
